I never understood where this ‘elitist’ accusation came from

    • The stereotype is so prevalent, that it’s actually weird that cars haven’t gotten smaller. I guess their brains are equally small to have not thought “maybe I should get a SmartCar so people think my dick is huge.

    lol, this is shockingly similar to a house in my neighborhood. I’m surprised at how similar the trucks are.

    I think part of it is that being able to get by without a car on a daily basis in America usually means that you own premium real estate that is close to the workplace and crucial infrastructure.

    Having said that, it’s also just terminal car-brain shining through.

      The vast majority of the problem is bad (i.e. density-restricting) zoning, not bad bike/ped/transit infrastructure itself. The latter is a symptom of the former.

    Guess it’s time to start acting like it.

    Why yes, I am better than you because I own a bicycle instead of a car. I just flex my muscles to propel myself to Aldi, without giving asthma to children in the process.

      Might be, or it might be a deliberately stupid photoshop done by a person (showing how nonsensical McMansions are, by using a carport instead of a garage and a door to a nonexistent Juliet balcony, I guess?).

      AI slop doesn’t necessarily violate the rules, though, at least not for the moment.
